Tough tough call. It changes rather rapidly, esp outside of the top four. But, some combination of the following:

King Crimson
Frank Zappa
Soft Machine
Van Der Graaf Generator
Magma
Henry Cow
Godspeed You! Black Emperor
Gentle Giant
Agalloch
Ulver
Dig me...But don't...Bury me
I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive
